The Perception of Beauty – Survey

The following is a brief survey, not about your knowledge of facial symmetry, but about your personal opinions about beauty and attraction.

Answer these questions as honestly, but seriously too. I want to know exactly what you think.

I only need basic information about yourself and do not require any names… so feel free to admit anything you feel is true.

When you have finished filling in your answers please return the completed survey to Aleisha Cavanagh.

Thank you! And please be honest as I’ll be using the information in statistics and if yours seems completely unbelievable I won’t use it :)
